Best thing about the win was seeing fanoook bontempelli almost crying.

Some of their players were actually crying. I know that people put in a lot of effort, but it did seem strange that they'd be crying after losing a h&a game.

Bevo obviously a big influence.

The umpiring was actually worse on replay without adrenaline of the night in play.

The commentary didn't help. Sheer indignation at any free in North's favour. Protests of injustice of any unpaid to the dogs.

JB guilty too. It's ok James nobody watching will ever accuse you of bias. Or if they don't know who you are there's a good chance they'll guess you're a dogs or blues supporter anyway.

When was the last time we seen Zeebs burst through the midfield, take off with speed towards the 50 and kick a goal on the run?

That moment gave me Goosebumps, our captain is very fit in 2018

Absurd

Still wouldn't get a game for the dogs according to their supporters.

 

[Moti]

Watched the replay overnight, have to say that I didn't think any of our players played badly. What I mean by that is there weren't a lot of obvious mistakes made consistently, we just got beaten a lot in the contest. I think the question I had was what Dumont, Ahern, Hrovat added to the side and in the end they just seemed to roam around and get patchy touches without much effect. In the end only a handful of our players had a real effect on the game, the rest just seemed to have a hand here and there.

It's probably true as he'd still be injured. They spend their money buying poker machines rather than rehab facilities and qualified medical staff.

Does anyone know where I can find the coaches votes for the game on the weekend?
Thanks in advance

Hello all, new post on The Shinboner talking about the reasons for the first half performance, Ziebell in the middle, and late game shenanigans: https://theshinboner.com/2018/06/24...rth-melbourne-western-bulldogs-the-shinboner/

Plus here's a bonus Tom Murphy gif because I couldn't find a way to fit it in the piece:

Surprised that Murphy wasn't pinged for in the back considering the trend for the night.

They're a bit angry. Apparently Ziebell and Cunners are nothing but thugs and Higgins vanishes under pressure. We need more quality people like the two Libbas I guess.

Majak bump gets my vote.

Free kick for being bigger.

Yep don't get it either, although probably all Maj had to do was put up one fist to make it look like he was attempting to spoil.

But the umpires seem to get very excited about any form of bump these days...

Great write up.

 

[Waynesworld]

Agree with this - a quiet achiever not dazzling or doing noticeable like Majak smashing bashing.

He seems so calm under pressure and I can't recall him making mistakes - he just takes the ball cleanly and disposed of it just as well. I think I've seen him running with the ball a bit more too which is great.

A steady hand in the backline - such a good compliment to the other mix of backline players.

I'd be interested to hear from anyone who's been watching him closely with a better take on his games so far.

Should call him Magic Tones Murph!

Didnt they all have a group cry after one of them broke their leg a few years back?

I have watched that about 30 times - never gets old. Love W80 going apeshit

 

[benbanjo]

I went to do some posting on their board, they got really mad. started using bad words and everything.

Yes, Mitch Wallis. And now their supporters are thumping the same bloke.

I think he's similar fitness - he just has burst energy in the tank because he's not running around 10m behind the play all the time in the midfield. His closing speed even when playing as a defensive forward is much better. Using his power to accelerate rather than burning all his tickets just trying to make contests.

BTW had a powerful game on Saturday. I had him and Goldy as my unlucky not to get votes. Love his aggression.

 

[shintemaster]

That was my favourite. The one that was the complete opposite of what he displayed on the night. Nice.

Garners reaction pretty good also.

 

[see see]

I liked LMac reaching for his hamstring when he took his final mark, trying to run down the clock.

He's obviously been watching the World Cup.

 

[Kanga1996]

So in other words they set themselves up for a huge game and lost.

This is getting even better.

Not sure of the exact terminology but anything around 200 points is considered high for pressure. The Bullfrogs peaked at 300+

This is where having an option to swing him into the middle late in a game when he is relatively fresh from spending most of the game deep in the fwd line is very valuable.

The Kangaroo Bens – Cunnington and Brown: Speaking of keys to their team’s chances, Cunnington had 22 contested possessions and 30 disposals to go with eight clearances in his team’s last gasp win over the Bulldogs. Brown kicked five goals and brilliantly toe-poked a ball he was under too much pressure to pick up to Jack Ziebell for the match winner. Both absolutely elite players.
